I’m officially giving up on this tea. It tastes sort of like weak, heated fruit punch, but it still has a bit of that mouth-drying quality that I don’t care for. I might chuck this into the Travelling Teabox – maybe someone else down the line will like this better than I do!
Prior to steep the smell reminds me of a raspberry pop tart. After steep I can certainly smell Acai and maybe Papaya…or is it pineapple…or both!? WEIRD…that’s the 2nd time that has had me puzzled today…lol…
The taste is more like a fruit cider type and I can really taste the acai or acai-like-ingredient. I can’t say as I am fond of it…but I might try it iced…so this rating is based on the hot variety…INSERT PUCKER HERE…eeeeek
Thanks, Jillian, for sending it to me – as I love trying to new teas and new brands regardless
TJMaxx. I feel like I need to go back there now. It’s been a few years. Granted I don’t expect to find any teas to the quality I have in my cupboard. I don’t mean for that to sound snobby but when you have tea that you literally watched being made in front of you in your cupboard…. I think it’s fine for me to say what is better. Right? That being said… this was average at best. I don’t know that I want to explore it again…
I want to know more about the Traveling Teabox :-)
Rena, the Travelling Teabox is a box of tea that is sent from person to person. Each person then takes something out and puts something else in. I’m afraid sign ups are closed now, I took sign ups all through December, but it seems from your posts that you’ve been away a lot, so maybe you hadn’t seen. I’m definitely not counting on this being the only one ever, though, but I don’t know when a second one will get sent out. It depends on how long it takes for this one to make it through 29 people and four countries. :) But you should definitely have the chance to sign up, if you’re interested, another time. :)
Rena, here’s the thread http://steepster.com/discuss/102-travelling-teabox. Unfortunately the route has already been planned out, but maybe if you email Angrboda something can be worked out.
(Smacks self in head) Yes, I see it now. I should have checked in Discussions, but I usually look at new Tasting Notes first. Thanks for answering.
